Can anyone refer me to ETL tester role in product based company?

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more.

I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.
